- jroll8481, on 11/02/2007, -3/+55As Cornell West stated in "Democracy Matters" the actual problem in this country is that there is a lack of education when it comes to the political process. There are more than enough people in this country that want us out of this war, and want us to focus on fixing the problems in this country. Unfortunately an equally large portion of this country does not take the time to really study the people running for office, looking at their voting record among other things. They look at an election like a sports match, and they want to be on the winning side. So if the media can convince them that Hillary and Giuliani are the front runners of both parties, then a lot of people along those party lines will vote for them just so they feel like their vote wasnt wasted. Most of these people are unaware that the polls that they cite when determining who is in the front involve less than 3% of the country and are far from accurate. Alot of people think the NeoCons strictly work on the republican side, meanwhile they are not noticing that there is an equally dangerous group on the liberal side. Both are working together to take away the power of the vote by controlling the media and eliminating a chance for anyone elses voice to be heard. I am doing what I can to educate those around me, and I will cast my vote for who I believe is best for this country. However I am afraid that it will come down to Clinton and Giuliani, and if that is the case I will vote for neither.
- guestaccount, on 11/02/2007, -6/+55Sick, drum beats coming from both sides.
My faith in the democrats has been lost. First by them doing nothing in Congress, now by this. - r0b1, on 11/02/2007, -9/+33BUT RON PAUL WILL FIX EVERYTHING WHILE USING HIS IPHONE
- MrMan42, on 10/25/2007, -12/+32Ron Paul in '08! Our last hope to save the Constitution!
- swrostmore, on 11/02/2007, -5/+24This article doesn't provide any evidence that any neoconservatives have "hitched their wagon" to Hillary's campaign. On the other hand, Giuliani's foreign policy advisor is considered by some to be a founding father of neoconservativism.
- br0ken1128, on 11/02/2007, -0/+16How the hell is Rudy doing well?
- inactive, on 11/06/2007, -1/+16The three most terrifying words in the world atm, Giuliani, Clinton and Neoconservative. Haters of America and freedom. Every last one of them.
- inactive, on 11/06/2007, -6/+20Most conservatives I meet like Ron Paul, because he's not a blatant fascist like all the other candidates...
- sublimemm, on 10/25/2007, -1/+13Don't forget that Hillary has received more contributions from the military industrial complex than any other candidate
- internetcoward, on 10/25/2007, -0/+12who cares what who likes. Who do you like?
- calinazaret, on 10/26/2007, -1/+12Bravo for being educated! I don't mind casting a "losing vote" either, I've been doing it for years. I'd rather vote for who I believe in that vote for the winner.
- joerad010, on 10/24/2007, -1/+1290% of all Digg articles in one sentence :-D
- gibbwake, on 11/02/2007, -0/+11Bush is advising Hilllarys campaign. Dont vote for that evil bitch!
- tonto69, on 10/27/2007, -2/+134 years of Rudy or Hillary will be like another 4 more years of Bush. Four more years of War by Proxy for Israel.
NO MORE WARS FOR ISRAEL! - edrift101, on 11/02/2007, -0/+11I refuse to vote for either of them.
- oldhick, on 10/25/2007, -0/+9No he's not. He's a non-interventionist.
- Putts335, on 10/24/2007, -2/+12I'll grab the other 10% for ya:
AND THEN SWITCH FROM VISTA TO UBUNTU - krnldmp, on 10/27/2007, -0/+10I actually investigated Hillary. I watched her speak in the senate. I read articles, including those from the heavily slanted Liberal rag The Nation. She's out to lunch. Guiliani, on the other hand, isn't worth typing this sentence. What I need from both of them is their complete removal from American politics.
- CH3CH2OH, on 11/02/2007, -1/+11Well, all kinds of weird coalitions are behind different candidates. You have nudists voting Green and Stormfront supporting Ron Paul, but that shouldn't stop you from deciding on the issues.
Then again, follow the money to see why NeoCons choose Clinton and Giuliani ... - banq59, on 10/27/2007, -2/+11That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
RISE UP - FriskDown, on 11/02/2007, -1/+10So, what else is new?
- incendiarylvr, on 10/25/2007, -1/+10Are they? I don't see enough outrage at the 'Democratic' congress. I see a nice steady level of apathy and complacency.
- inactive, on 10/25/2007, -0/+8gjscds, you're correct...kind of. Neither Giuliani nor Clinton are truly "conservative," as in old school conservative. They are neoconservatives. Neoconservative != Conservative.
Both G and C are pro-military interventionism in other countries' affairs. Both are pro-big government. Both are anti-civil liberties. Both are pro-corporate welfare. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. - pintomp3, on 11/06/2007, -1/+9if you want to figure out who will take us to war with iran just look at who AIPAC is supporting.
- inactive, on 10/25/2007, -2/+10"Then they can start to reverse the damage the GWB administration has done to the country."
Do you seriously think that a Dem president (especially Hillary) is going to roll back ANY of the power Bush has built up around the executive? If you believe that, you truly *are* deluded.
There are only 3 SLIGHT differences between Republicans and Democrats nowdays:
1) What corporations they're in bed with.
2) What government bloat they waste our tax dollars on.
3) What countries they're willing to invade/interfere with.
If you favor one over the other, you're a partisan dupe and you deserve the government you vote for. - guestaccount, on 10/27/2007, -2/+9I guess nothing is better than actively ***** us as the repubs have done lately.
- FishHammer, on 10/25/2007, -1/+8I'm a conservative and I'd like you to back up that statement. You're doing nothing but being just as much of a big stupid troll as anyone else.
- nicholai, on 10/27/2007, -1/+8Stop fighting! Both sides have ***** up. If Ron Paul doesn't win the primary, we need to turn to a third party.
http://libertarianempire.com/Paul.html - FishHammer, on 10/24/2007, -1/+8only if it was ron paul will HACK everything while running linux on his iphone
- azprofessional, on 11/06/2007, -2/+9Is this an attempt to lie about Rudy's popularity over and over so that eventually all the apathetic people who still consider their vote worth something will surrender and vote for this lunatic?
"Remember, everything else wrong in the country is irrelevant, only who wants war is important, thats it. And Rudy, will personally find Bin Laden, have him rebuild the towers by himself and free Iraq from civil war single handedly. Evidence is for the weak, hype and fear are all you need to control people so, RUDY RUDY HE'S OUR MAN, IF HIS CREEPY ASS CAN'T DO IT, NO ONE CAN, WOO YAY RUDY, 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 X 1,000,000 YAY RUDY!" - SammyJr, on 10/25/2007, -1/+8He's more of a military isolationist. He's all for free trade between nations.
- tehbored, on 11/02/2007, -1/+8The scariest thing of all is that people actually *like* these two. Plenty of people I know support Hillary. I just don't get it. How could anyone support such an awful candidate? It's likely only because of her name; not enough people actually pay attention to the issues.
- banq59, on 10/25/2007, -1/+7So the founding fathers of this country were wrong and should have stayed under the oppression of their current government. You don't understand what made this country great, maybe you should move. I will stay and fight.
- FriskDown, on 10/25/2007, -3/+9I wish I could digg you up twice.
- airiox, on 10/25/2007, -8/+14Is the blogger stealing a card from Rudi's deck and telling flatout lies?
Neocons may be satisfied with the prospect of Rudi winning the Presidency, but they surely don't "love" him. And they downright hate the idea of Hilary being in charge of anything other than herself.
The blogger basically latched on to the two most hated candidates (they should be hated for good reason I might add) and said to himself, gee I hate neocons, how can I pile on to make them look worse in the eyes of people who will believe anything they read? - inactive, on 10/27/2007, -2/+8Hillary = CFR member. Rudy = CFR member. Neocons = CFR members. So, surprise, CRF members love other CFR members.
- petewiz, on 10/25/2007, -3/+9Oh no, apparently you're boring "leftykiller". You better praise Giuliani or Bush quickly, lest you bore him to death and deprive us of his brilliant commentary.
- robberry, on 10/24/2007, -1/+7And I thought Republicans spent all their time having furtive gay sex in public bathrooms while ignoring the will of the people and the good of the country.
Now, shall we continue making stupid posts based on insults and stereotypes, or are you ready to join us at the grown-ups' table? - oldhick, on 10/25/2007, -1/+6We've lost respect for you as well then. You need to wake up and realize that the words "Conservative" and "Liberal" have no real meaning anymore other than to misguide and polarize. As Diggers will tell you in droves, GW Bush is a "Neo-conservative". But other than his middle east policies, this is as far from the truth as possible. What is conservative about Bush pushing for immigration amnesty? What was conservative about his prescription drug plan? What is conservative about creating the Department of Homeland Security? What was conservative about the Patriot Act? What was conservative about lowering taxes while dramatically increasing spending?
Conservative used to mean limited government and fiscal responsibility. None of these traits exist in Bush.
As for liberal, well that word has never had any actual meaning. I think people use the word liberal to describe anything the opposite of conservative... - 3tcp, on 10/25/2007, -0/+5Neocons have their own agenda that is separate from those of the republican party itself and the majority of the conservative movement but if they can get Giuliani AND Clinton nominated it will be a greater victory for their movement than getting Bush the nomination in 2000. It's quite clear that Clinton will be very much like GW Bush as president except with expansive government run social programs and protectionist trade policies.
- swrostmore, on 10/25/2007, -2/+7The reason to get "bent" over neoconservative foreign policy is that it is a demonstrable failure. The neoconservative ideology RELIES on hyping the threat of an external enemy in order to consolidate power, and you've bought it hook, line, and sinker. The irony in all this is that the neoconservative policies you support have done more to increase so-called "islamofascist" recruitment than any terrorist has.
- MrMan42, on 10/29/2007, -1/+6Liberal: "I like the party that screws me from the left!"
Conservative: "You're a moron! I like the party that screws me from the right!"
Truth: You've both been brainwashed. - vinwal, on 10/26/2007, -0/+5Mrs. Obama is a member of the CFR..............nuff said
- Beveridge89, on 10/25/2007, -0/+4Isnt American political campaigns built on big money? Because someone giving $2300 sounds like nothing.
- gjscds, on 10/25/2007, -2/+6This has got to be the stupidest theory I've read in years. Bar none...
Neither G or C, by any stretch of the imagination are conservative. I've just lost all respect for Digg users... - tehbored, on 10/24/2007, -0/+4No, they're lying about Iran. We're using actual in formation (quotes, reports, etc.). All three have made it known that they want to attack Iran. You're just an *****.
- CH3CH2OH, on 10/25/2007, -0/+4Technically, nudists don't have any support at all!
- swrostmore, on 10/25/2007, -1/+59/11
- BlackJackJester, on 10/25/2007, -0/+4The problem is the political machine takes so long to do anything, most people go apathetic by the time they do something wrong. However, the sleeping bear can only be poked so many times....
- thugok, on 10/25/2007, -0/+4neo-geo, now there was a gaming system.
